Italy 🇮🇹｜🌟A must-see hiking destination in Italy - Dolomites

August every year is the main holiday for Italians. Many people will arrange their annual leave and travel with their families at this time. At first, I thought that Italians would take this time to travel abroad, but I didn’t expect my Italian friend to say to me, "We are going to the mountains for vacation." The first time I heard it, I was confused and asked him, "Which mountain? There are no mountains nearby?" He said, "We are driving to the Dolomites for vacation." Only then did I realize that "it turns out that many Italians living in Venice, Trieste, and Verona, because they live not far from the Dolomites, will go hiking in the mountains in the summer (especially August), and skiing in the mountains if they have the chance in the winter." In addition to being a popular holiday destination for Italians, the Dolomites are also well-known in recent years for their relatively cheaper prices and beautiful scenery, which is just as good as Switzerland. Many people come to the Dolomites specifically to ski, making the area more popular. More and more Asians are flocking to visit. The Dolomites are beautiful, but there are some difficulties that hold people back: 1. Complex language: The Dolomites are located on the border between Austria and Italy. They once belonged to the Austro-Hungarian Empire, but during the First World War, the Austro-Hungarian Empire abandoned this area and it was later occupied by Italy. Even though it belongs to Italy politically, the people here are Germanic in terms of culture, language, and bloodline. Therefore, Italian and German languages ​​coexist in this area. Restaurants and hotels all use Italian and German. Locals may not be able to communicate in English, so you need to be mentally prepared when traveling here. 2. Inconvenient transportation: The bus routes in Dolomites are fixed, which is more flexible than driving. It is more convenient to go hiking or move around the mountains, so it is recommended to drive as much as possible. 3. Complex geographical environment: The Dolomites region is mainly composed of the Dolomites Mountains, which have many small peaks (just like the Yushan and Alishan in the Central Mountain Range of Taiwan). The entire region spans three regions of Italy, and is divided into 17 regions based on the relative locations of valleys, grasslands, and mountains. 4. Not much information on the Chinese Internet: Unless you spend a lot of time traveling in the Dolomites or are a local, the language, transportation, and terrain issues mentioned above make it difficult for everyone to have a complete concept of this area after visiting the Dolomites. Just like I went to Cortina and thought I had gone to the Dolomites, but I didn’t know that this was just the tip of the iceberg. In fact, the Dolomites have more exciting places. #hikingcheckin #hikingroute #weekendtour #overseastour #like #trip #couple #relax #hiking #hikingplace #italytravel #europeantravel #europe
